Hi guys!
Me and my GM are discussing about the Double Tap feat in COM:
- I think that it allows you to take 2 shots with a small arm and add full specialization bonus for each of them. So, as a Level 3 Operative with a tactical semi-auto pistol, my character could deal of 1d6+3 damage for each shot with a single standard action (totaling 2d6+6 damage).
- My GM thinks that it only allows you to add full specialization bonus to the attack. So, my character would able to make only one shot dealing 1d6+3 damage (instead of the regular 1d6+1).
Which one is correct? Me, the GM or none (please explain)?
Thanks!
Your GM is correct.
Double Tap (Combat)
You can make rapid small arm attacks to increase the effectiveness of your attacks.
Prerequisite(s): Weapon Focus (small arms), proficiency with small arms.
Benefit(s): As a standard action, you can take a single attack action to make a double-tap attack with a small arm. This attack gains a +1 bonus to the attack roll, and your bonus to damage from Weapon Specialization is equal to your character level (rather than half your character level). The small arm used cannot have the blast, explode, flexible line, line, unwieldy, or wide line AR weapon special properties, or any other property that allows it to attack multiple targets or an area in a single attack. This attack cannot benefit from the boost, guided, or variant boost AR weapon special properties, or any other ability or effect that is a move action and alters the effect of your attack or damage. This expends ammunition equal to two attack rolls, and if you cannot expend that ammunition, you cannot use this ability.
Note the bold bits. Double tap is a singular attack, not plural attacks, it simply uses double the ammunition.
Oh, I see. I think it´s balanced enough.
Thank you!
